The American and the Banner are
again fighting over ,neir Midland
railroad hattie. In consequence, out.
sidsrs do not find much of interest in
those papers. The American has
made bitter personal fight against
Maj Stahlman, and that gentleman
challenges an investigation, which the
American declines to enter into. 1t
seems that the Major has placed Col.
Culyar at a disadvantage. These
bitter personalities are to he deplOred
and we believe no good can result
from them.

Among them was one quite an adept i'll the
wonderful. She was a Brahma, and much
did she boast of her noble Eastern blood.
Nine. Devachau was her name. Her age no
fowl could find out. Some said she was
female Mahatma nearly 500 years old.
Others SAID she was so years at least Mean
time the madame smiled when the subject
was limited at, and looked to be on the sunny
side of 40.
Nine Devachau was wonderful bird.
She was very learned. She read Sanscrit as
easily as she could fly over fence She
wrote good deal of very obscure and mystic
literature. She could drop down apparently
dead and be flung around almost anyhow,
and when she got tired of that pick herself
up and so on as before. At such times she
claimed that her spirit was out of her body
and floating of seeing things in two hemi-
spheres. Besides she was clairvoyant and
told fortunes At this she did quite thriv-
ing business.
About Nov. l she warned the big turkey
that something unpleasant, not to say dam
gerous, was hanging over him. At first he
whistled her down the wind, and declared
that he put no faith in predictions. He
wasn't superstitious; not he. Nevertheless,
when Nine. Devachau told him that she saw
blood clairvoyantly and also an ak suspended
suspiciously near his head the red died out
of his comb, and with a piteous face he
begged her pardon for his previous skep-
ticism.
you will learn" she said, that my sex
the uneducated clairvoyants always say
sect, but Nine. D. was very learned and
always spoke correctly is coming to the
front; that what some of us say is not to be
put down as the idle clucking of ignorant old

woman mayor; another with board of fe-
male aldermen; and Phebe Couzins is now
the marshal of st. Louis; ana as for my
predictions you are quite welcome to doubt
them and take the consequences"
"Really, madame" he said, your Oriental
lore interests me. must study deeper into
the mysteries of eastern thought"
"One feature of Buddhism will strike you
with force, l think" said the wise hen of
Brahma, drawing down one eye suspiciously.
THAT is, it forbids the eating of flesh"
The big turkey changed color again. Flesh
eating was distasteful subject to him, and
he always avoided distasteful subjects
The clairvoyant shut her eyes, stiffened her
body and began to see things. She said q
dark day was coming for the entire race of
fowls, and even certain quadrupeds on this
hemisphere. 1t would occur about the latter
part Of November. They who esca, ~ that
day were tolerably sure of their lives for an
other month, at least. There was but one
course to take to escape the doom of that
black Thursday; that was to get out of the
way of the flesh eating animal man.
At this point small white pig came up
and shifted derisively, and then trotted off to
eat the food which the fowls neglected for
Oriental wisdom. The pig was a noted
skeptic. The Brahma hen looked after him
and smiled pityingly. "Ephraim is joined to
his idols" she said. "Se'fishness pays its own
penalty. We get what we give The mind
